Thousands of tourists are stranded on the holiday island of Koh Samui and hundreds of stranded travellers scrambled for air tickets out of Samui International airport, after hearing that two planes had managed to take off for Bangkok earlier in the day.

There were many power outs caused by downed power lines and there are some reports of deaths due to electrocution folowing the fallen power lines.

The aircraft carrier HTMS Chakri Narabuet and two smaller vessels, HTMS Sukhothai and Gor911, are rescuing people from the islands of Koh Tao, Koh Pang-ngan and Koh Samui.
